An EPL Queens Park Rangers supporters' group "has called on the club to reduce season ticket prices" following its relegation to the League Championship, according to the London EVENING STANDARD. Despite two years of huge investment, QPR was "relegated from the Premier League." The west London club, which "earned promotion to the top flight two years ago, will next year be playing at places like Turf Moor and Portman Road rather than Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge, and supporters feel that should be reflected in season ticket prices." Rangers' current ticket prices span from £499-949 ($772-1,500) whereas its Championship neighbors in London like Millwall charge just £249 ($385) for its cheapest season ticket. Group Chair Stephen Dedridge said, "If we were paying what we are now we would be paying over the odds so we would like a reduction" (EVENING STANDARD, 4/29).

One month before the start of the Int'l Rugby Board Junior World Rugby Trophy, which will feature an eight-team competition, the event's location has changed, according to Manuel Rojas Díaz of EMOL. Antofagasta, Chile Mayor Karen Rojo said no to the tournament taking place at the newly inaugurated Calvo & Bascuñán Stadium. As a result, the tournament will be held at the city's Las Almejas field, but the IRB said that "the synthetic turf is not suitable for the championship." Sources at the Chile Rugby Federation said, "It's an economic pain for the Federation, but more for rugby in Antofagasta" (EMOL, 4/29).

South Sumatra "has developed a series of events to keep Jakabaring Sport City alive in response to years of criticism over the prolonged usefulness of the massive complex, first used for the Southeast Asian Games in 2011," according to Ami Afriatni of the JAKARTA GLOBE. The South Sumatran government and the provincial sports committee (Konida) "have collaborated to host events at the 325-hectare complex in an effort to turn it into a destination for lndonesians." South Sumatra Konida Chair Muddai Madang said that bringing events to Jakabaring "is part of a larger effort endorsed by the provincial government to help maintain the complex," which cost Rp 2.2T ($226M) to construct. Muddai said, "It is very common in Indonesia to build sporting facilities and leave them neglected rather than maintain them. We do not want this to happen again. We have world-class sporting facilities that we should not waste." The independent body "is in charge in maintaining the athletes’ village, which was built using funds from the state government budget before being handed over to the local government." The body said that "it has struggled to keep up with the village’s regular expenses, such as electricity bills." That is why Muddai said that the body’s marketing team "is now offering to rent out the complex, mostly to companies." He said, "They often hold corporate events in the athletes’ village. We allocate the income for maintenance" (JAKARTA GLOBE, 4/29).
